All the houses were small
It’s like they never cared at all
Nobody ever stood that tall
Nobody ever wandered through
The grounds at nightfall
Take your time If you want
They walk ahead and you catch up
Just clear the bridge before it’s dark
You’re going to fade if you get caught
You keep your name you go home
You’re no bouquet, you’re just a rose
Nobody here knows who we are
Sad to say the same as where you’re from
Wake up little girl
Your people need a hero, not some maid
We’ll help you clean it all up when you’re done
We’ll help you when your hands are tied in pain
Suddenly I see why I’d be easy to replace
A simple way to exist today: keep the troubled ones away
They are crazy, crazy, everyone is crazy
Lazy, maybe, everyone’s so lazy but you
Shut it down if you’re out
Nobody’s gonna judge when you get down
Sometimes you gotta sleep it off for a week
Sometimes it takes a year or two after all you’re human
Suddenly I see why it’s so easy to replace
The simple way to resist today: keep the troubled ones away
They are crazy, crazy, everyone is crazy
Lazy, maybe, everyone’s so lazy
You keep your name you go home
You’re no bouquet, you’re just a rose
Nobody here knows who you are
Sad to say the same as where you’re from
All the houses were small
Honestly I’ve never cared at all
Nobody ever stood so tall
Nobody said they’ll help you when you’re done
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
If you've ever had to Google clumsy phrases to find a word that matched a feeling you could only feebly describe, and you ended up discovering words like hiraeth, sehnsucht, or saudade, The Million Masks of God may be an excellent companion soundtrack to your experience. joel
